i've only been a michigan hockey fan for the past 2.5 years so I resisted being naive and voting for only guys I knew (patch, kevin, chad...) and just picked some of the guys with the best +/- but i still included porter just because

I had Knuble in over Moss, as he's more proven right now (although Moss may turn into a poor man's Knuble). Cammalleri is a no-brainer, and I had Cogliano in as well (playing a full season trumps Ebbett IMO).

I had Knuble, Andy Cogs, and Cammalleri at forward, Hunwick and Ward at D, and Turco at goal (although I'm hoping Montoya returns to former glories as Team USA goalie in the upcoming IIHC World Championship).

Hunwick was rookie of the year for me, too...and I'm not ashamed to admit it, this blog's own "Matt Hunwick Can THROW!" entry put him over the top for me. Because you can never get enough of "the old Wolverine 'what-for'" (God bless Jack Edwards)...well played, sir.

"A small but enthusiastic group of Michigan fans chanted, "Titus sucks! Titus sucks!" When he was off the ice, the group chanted, 'We want Titus! We want Titus!'"

"Though Michigan’s student section is endlessly harangued for its vulgar language, the Yost rowdies can be counted on for at least one good laugh every season. The most recent gem, directed at Northern Michigan goalie and Finnish native Tuomas Tarkki, was a hand-lettered sign wielded by a fan sitting in the front row near the Wildcat bench. The message? The Finnish phrase ‘Tarkki on seula’, which, roughly translated, reads ‘Tarkki is a sieve’."
